ENTRYWAYS & HALLWAYS
Modern design has a large emphasis on natural materials, so keeping things in a more natural colour
palette is key. When a bold colour is used, it is never to cover an entire wall, but rather is used sparingly
to provide a focal point and help break up neutrals. Modern architecture and interior design both operate
on the principle: ‘form follows function.’ Buildings and furnishings are first and foremost practical rather
than ornamental. Modern style strives to be honest and straightforward, without embellishment. Following
this principle, the CYRUS Floor Light is an original item made in polished brass, matching perfectly with a
structure in matte casted brass and tabletops in glossy palisander veneer and bronze glass. The image
on the left continues this practical elegance with the ARDARA Console having a gold leaf finish with gloss
varnish, unified with VELLUM Wall Light.
